Galápagos Field Seminar
Join a seminar on evolution and conservation with Stanford sophomores, beginning with lectures on Stanford campus then traveling to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands.
Overview
A totally immersive experience
One of Travel/Study’s goals has always been to look at the world as a “virtual classroom,” where lessons in history, culture, nature, and science can be absorbed in the best way: firsthand. Within our unique Field Seminar format, Travel/Study joins forces with Sophomore College to provide an incredible academic experience for a mix of undergraduates and alumni.
Our adventure begins with two days on the Stanford campus for an intensive crash course led by Professor Bill Durham on Darwin, evolution, and the remarkable “living laboratory” of the Galápagos Islands. We then fly to South America and travel aboard La Pinta to explore alongside some of the brightest young minds at Stanford today.
